Operators may continue to use Spectrum V8 and Spectrum IQ pumps by following on-screen instructions, or the infusion setup instructions in the Preparing the Pump and IV Sets and Programming the Pump sections and upstream occlusion alarm troubleshooting in the Alarms section of the Operator s Manual.

The representative will work with you to determine a list of affected serial numbers at your facility. Please note you will be receiving this software reversion from Baxter at no charge."
